Nobody in great shape got there or stays there by walking a little each day.


Excuse me? I'm 5' 10" and have weighed about 135-137 all my adult life. Walking 3 to 4 mikes every day may not put you in the greatest shape (I used to work out at Crossfit) but it can sure keep the pounds off.


Excuse you. 3-4 miles doesn’t make you look like Nicole Richie. That’s not her diet and exercise plan and if she says it is she’s lying.

Simple Life Years she looked atleast a size 12/14 given she is 5’1 - 2003-2007:

Guessing a size based on :

Nicole Ritchie a size 12? Ha! Please.
She was probably a size 4 at her heaviest. She was known for being anorexic looking.


NP. She looks like she was a size 10-12 in the picture PP posted. And a 0-2 at her smallest.

3-4 miles per day is not "walking a little each day". That's a LOT of walking. To put that in perspective for you, that would take me, someone 5'4", at least three hours.


WTF? I can walk a mile in 15-20 minutes this would take a normal healthy person around an hour. I regularly run 3-4 miles and I’m not as thin as they are. How slow do you walk? There is no way this is what they do to stay in shape.

It takes you an hour to walk a mile? It should take 20-30 minutes to walk one.

She probably lost 30-50 pounds so nothing TOO crazy like OP is referring to.

People talk about weight loss as willpower but it isn't like the willpower to finish a race or something. It is willpower 24/7, forever, which is virtually impossible. Very few people can just keep it off.


It really depends on the person. I lost 45 pounds 3 years ago (160 to 115). My life does not revolve around weight maintenance and I don't need much willpower to maintain a 20 BMI. I have a big appetite and eat a lot. I just eat better food than I used to and exercise moderately.

If I had a metabolism that required me to eat 1200 calories a day indefinitely, it would be a different story. But I only got to 160 lbs at 5'4 by stress eating 3000+ calories a day for years on end.


Check back in 10 years

The camera adds 10 lbs, she was probably a size 8 at most. And that was a size 8 back then, not now. Jennifer Hudson was never that big either honestly. But when you’re a celeb and you have money and connections, you usually have a personal chef and a trainer at a minimum, and looking good is basically your whole goal so you spend a lot of time on it. It’s a lot harder for average people!

I am her height and bigger than she is in those pics and I am a 6 at the very most. Sizing is weird. I am always a smaller size than I look.

I think Nicole Ritchie calmed down: stopped partying (drinking, etc), and eating crap food once she got married and had kids. Then she's rich and can afford a team of people (chef, child care, personal trainer, etc). so keep her eating healthy.
